Threatened Miscarriage

I was diagnosed with threatened miscarriage... I've been having bleeding that started off as brown spotting but today its gotten heavier and red. I still feel pregnancy symptoms (nausea, food cravings & aversions, sensitive sense of smell, etc.) This is my first pregnancy and I'm only 18. I also have an ovarian cyst... I haven't had any stress lately... Can people please leave stories if you've made it through a threatened miscarriage? I really need it because I'm worrying so much and that's the only thing that's giving me stress.

Thank you, my grandmother told me that she actually had full length periods during most of her pregnancies and she had 5 kids so that sort of gave me hope... I really need a lot of prayers... I don't know what I'd do if I lost my baby...

I was diagnosed with the same thing! Im18 years and frst prgncy. Lost mine today :'/ keep yourself healthy! Stay in bed and keep ur feet elevated. Dont do anything too harm the baby. Good luck and wishing you the best!

Are your hcg levels being tracked OP? I had a miscarriage a few months ago and it also started out with brown spotting that turned into red bleeding. I know that's not what you want to hear so I'm sorry. but I knew I was having a miscarriage because they tracked my hcg levels and they were going down. I hope it's not the same case for you! Hugs!

I spotted and bled with my daughter. She's now 3 and healthy. Did you go to the doctor? Some women may need some progesterone early in pregnancy. The doctor should be able to check hcg/ ultrasound/ progesterone.

The doctor said my cervix is opening and but my baby is still in the same spot the heart beat is still strong... I haven't gotten anything done via blood work I don't even know my blood type. My hormone levels are still the same.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Threatened m/c is actually a common diagnosis. Any bleeding during pregnancy is considered threatened m/c. And 20% of women experience bleeding. And of those 20%, only 17% of those women end up having a m/c. I had spotting early on, which ended up stopping. But, of course, heavy, red bleeding is always a concern. But there can be lots of reasons for this. Hang in there and I hope things turn out ok for you.

I am actually going through the same thing as we speak. i have been bleeding off and on for 2 weeks, some days really heavy and sometimes hardly any. I have so far watched our baby grow from 7 to 9 weeks last heart rate was 123 (7wks) and yesterday it was 184 (9wks) yolk sac is gone placenta is in place and growth is normal. It is totally fine and happens quite often. Since it is your first like mine i believe we just hadn't been told about it before . We have this grandiose idea that pregnancy is all butterflies and rainbows but it is as different and individual as each person on the planet. God only gives us what we can handle, take solice in the fact that you are a badass. Hugs to you i know it is scary! And congratulations on your pregnancy!!
